Configuration of WVDTcpTest

This test tracks various statistics pertaining to TCP connections to and from the chosen Session Host / Azure Virtual desktop. The details of the test are provided below:

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the IP address of the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• The detailed diagnosis of this test lists the top-10 hosts that have established the maximum number of TCP connections with the monitored virtual desktop. Set the REPORT NAMES flag to Yes if you want the detailed diagnosis to display the host name of these hosts and not the IP address. To view the IP address of the hosts instead, set this flag to No.

• By default, the detailed diagnosis of this test displays only the top-10 hosts in terms of the number of TCP connections they have established with the monitored virtual desktop. If you want more or less number of hosts to be included in the detailed diagnostics, then change the value of the SHOW TOP parameter accordingly. For instance, to have detailed diagnosis display the top-15 hosts, change the value of the SHOW TOP parameter to 15.

• The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY .

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
